A dedicated out-of-band management network for your UKNode dedicated servers and Proxmox private cloud. Get a full /24 of private addressing delivered over a secure encrypted overlay — reach any interface, any port, on any node, without consuming a single public IPv4 address.
Each customer receives an entire /24 (254 usable hosts) of private address space, providing ample room for all nodes, IPMI interfaces, and management endpoints within a single, clean allocation.
Management interfaces, IPMI, iDRAC, and Proxmox WebUI no longer need to consume precious public IPv4 addresses. Keep your public IPs for workloads that actually need them.
The secure tunnel carries all TCP/UDP traffic transparently. Reach your Proxmox dashboard, IPMI console, or any internal service over any port — without punching holes in your public firewall.
Optimized hardware, fast deployment, and UK-based support to keep your platform stable and predictable.
We can customize CPU, RAM, storage, and networking to match your workload.
The Problem With Public IPs for Management
Most operators assign a public IP to every IPMI card, every Proxmox WebUI, every iDRAC — burning scarce IPv4 addresses and exposing sensitive management ports to the internet. Our Secure OOB Access service gives dedicated server and private cloud customers a dedicated private /24 network, delivered over an always-on encrypted overlay tunnel. Every management interface on every node is reachable privately, on any port, without a single extra public IP.
Designed for dedicated server and Proxmox private cloud customers.
A dedicated /24 private address block is allocated exclusively to your infrastructure. 254 usable host addresses for IPMI, WebUI, console access, and internal services — all in one clean, routable management subnet.
Public IPv4 addresses are finite and increasingly expensive. With OOB, your IPMI interfaces, Proxmox dashboards, and internal management services live entirely on private addresses. Reserve your public IPs for workloads that genuinely need them.
Access to your /24 is carried over a persistent, encrypted overlay tunnel. The tunnel is always on — no reconnecting, no manual session initiation. Connect once and your entire management network is reachable.
The tunnel carries all traffic transparently. Reach Proxmox WebUI on port 8006, IPMI on 443, SSH on 22, or any custom service port on any node — without modifying public firewall rules or opening additional attack surface.
All dedicated servers and private cloud nodes under your account participate in the same OOB network. A single tunnel client gives you reach across your entire infrastructure fleet.
Because the management network is entirely separate from your production traffic path, you can access and troubleshoot nodes even when their primary network interfaces have misconfigurations or need rebooting.
Your management traffic travels entirely over a private encrypted path — completely separate from your production network.
Proxmox Virtual Environment exposes a wealth of management interfaces — the WebUI, the API, node shells, and per-VM console access — that should never be reachable from the public internet. Our OOB access solution places all of these behind your private /24, reachable only through the encrypted tunnel. The same applies to physical server IPMI and iDRAC interfaces for dedicated bare metal customers.
The most dangerous moment in server management is pushing a firewall rule or network configuration that locks you out of the primary interface. With OOB access, you have a completely independent path back into the node — through IPMI or direct console — that is unaffected by anything you do to the production network stack.
Public IPv4 addresses are a finite, commercially valuable resource. Assigning one to every management interface across a fleet of servers is wasteful and increasingly expensive. OOB access eliminates this entirely — your public IPs are used exclusively for routable workloads, not for management interfaces that only you need to reach.
Secure OOB Access is available as an add-on to all UKNode dedicated server and private cloud plans. It is particularly recommended for customers managing Proxmox clusters, cPanel servers, or any infrastructure where management interface security and reliable out-of-band reach are operational requirements.
